Chapter 2: First Day

When I woke up in the morning, the first thought that came in my mind was school. I quickly took a bath, then wore my cute dress before running to the kitchen where I found my brothers and Tessa. As soon as Tessa saw me, she let go a whistle before giving me a big hug.

"Good morning. Ready for school?" she asked with a smile.

"If I'm not ready now, when will I be ready?" I said nervously.

"Don't freak out. My brother will come to pick you up. He goes to Jackson Hughes too." she said while pushing my bowl of cereal in front of me.

"You have a brother?" I asked, raising one of my eyebrows in confusion.

"Yes. Dean" she said. "You didn't know?" she asked.

"No. Because you didn't tell me." I replied as if it was obvious.

"I didn't tell you because you never ask." Tessa chuckled. I couldn't argue with her. In fact, nobody could argue with her.

Suddenly, I heard a honk outside. I took my bag and walked outside. When I rose my eyes to look at the car, my mouth dropped open. It was a red Ferrari. Inside, there was a handsome boy with sandy blond hair and blue eyes. He looked amused by my reaction. He honked again, prompting me to come. I walked to his car and entered it. His hand was in front of me in form of a shake hand.

"Hello, I'm Dean." He introduced with a smile. Damn! He got beautiful eyes.

"And I'm Shyne" I said while shaking his hand. Soon, he started to drive.

"Still not used to being rich?" he asked me with a mocking smile on his face.

"I don't think that I will ever get used to it" I mumbled more to myself than to him. I knew that he heard what I said as he gave me a side glance.

"Looking at your face when you saw that car, it was easy to guess" he said with a smile.

"No. it's just difficult for me. I was used to having a normal life in France. But here," I said looking at the houses as we passed by them "Everything seems easy. Look at those houses, even this residential area is for VIP. It's as if they have put a barrier between the rich and poor" I mumbled.

"And is it wrong?" he asked politely.

"Yes" I said as a whisper. He smiled at the road."I'm sorry if I'm annoying you with all this. I don't know why I'm talking that much" I whispered loud enough for him to hear.

"No. You're not annoying me" he reassured. "You're right about the boundary." He gave me a kind smile."And I think you're nervous" he added as he turned in the school parking. Yeah, I was dead nervous. That school was really big. There was students everywhere.

"Don't be nervous" Dean said, interrupting my thoughts. He opened the door for me and as soon as I got out, I felt all eyes on me. I didn't know if they were looking at me or at the Ferrari. I turned to Dean.

"Are they looking at me or at your car?" I asked him. He looked amused.

"My car isn't new here. it's you" he told me while looking around. "Nobody can blame them for looking at you because you're beautiful" he continued naturally. I could feel my cheeks turning red.

"Thank you" I thanked. He walked with me in the hallway. Knowing that everyone was looking at me, I hid myself behind my hair. Dean left after directing me the principal's office to get my schedules. As I got out of the office, I tried to look for my locker. I was walking when I heard someone call my name.

"Shyne!" someone called. I turned around to look for the person. Alize was waving at me with a big bright smile on her face. Alize is one of the friends I made in the tuition.

"Alize" I greeted, totally pleased to finally see someone that I know.

"Where are you heading?" she asked me. She had long black hair and green eyes. She was really beautiful.

"I am going to the English class" I said with a smile."And you?" I asked wishing that she was in the same class as me.

"Biology" she said, disappointment present in her voice. "But i can wait for you next to your class when your first class is over. I can show you the school if you want" She added.

"Yeah, it would be great, Thank you" I replied enthusiastically before walking back in the class.

"Good morning" she greeted with a smile. "I'm Miss Sera." She said. I smiled back at her."Will you please introduce yourself to the class?" She asked as she walked back to her desk. I turned to the class.

"I'm Shyne Snow" I said now turning to the class. "I came from France four days ago" And I didn't know what to say more. "That's all" I said looking at the teacher, with the fakest smile that I could pull.

"Okay. You may take your seat." She said, pointing at a seat in the middle. I walked to my seat and I could feel all eyes on me. I could hear a low whistle from the back of the class. I blushed and tried to hide my face behind my hair.

The class was soon over. As I rushed to the door, I bumped into someone. The collision made both of us fall on the floor. All my things were scattered on the floor.

"Are you blind? Can't you watch where you're going?" I heard that totally mesmerizing voice snapped at me. As I rose my head to look at the person that was talking to me. I was surprised by the beauty of the guy. He had brown hair, black eyes and a Greek-god like face.

"Excuse me?" I asked in utter disbelief while standing up.

"Oh, you're deaf too," he snapped at me. One thing that I hated, was people talking to me rudely. One of my various problems was my temper.

"I'm sorry" I said sarcasm coating my voice. Anger glimmered in my eyes."But normal people don't usually stand in front of a door to talk to their friends" I snapped at him. He looked at me, obviously surprised that I stood up to him. I smirked before turning on my heels. Quickly I was joined by Alize.

"You know that you have practically insulted the most popular boy of this school?" She asked.

"I didn't insult him" I muttered while rolling my eyes."I just told him th-" But she stopped me before I told her what I said.

"Yeah, I know. I was watching" She said."But still. Nobody had the guts to reply him the way you did" She said as if I won a gold medal. I smiled at her. When I walked to my locker, I saw Dean leaning against it.

"Hey" he greeted. "So how was class?" he asked me as I put my books back in the locker.

"Great but got some problems with an asshole," I said. I turned to him. He was shocked.He blinked his eyes several times.

"Asshole?" he said as if testing the word."The word seems rude when it's you using it" he smirked. The way he said asshole was just damn funny. I couldn't stop laughing. Suddenly the asshole was behind Dean.

"Oh crap" I murmured. I took my Math book from my locker. Dean followed my gaze.

"Hey dude" The rude boy greeted Dean."What are you doing with her?" he asked him as he looked at me.

"Ethan!" Dean said and they did their hand shake thing. "Well, she's like my little sister" Dean said smiling at me. Inside, in my head, I was surprised by the word sister but also pleased.

"So you're friend with the Asshole?" I asked ignoring Ethan. Dean's mouth dropped open.

"You were talking about him?" Dean nearly whispered. I nodded and looked at Ethan. He clearly was shocked.

"You called me what?" He sneered with a threatening voice. I wasn't afraid of him. Dean was just looking at us.

"An asshole" I said firmly. "Do you want a definition?" I asked with a sarcastic voice. Dean let out a chuckle. Then I heard someone calling me. It was obviously Alize. Ethan just walked angrily in the other direction.

"I'll be waiting for you in the car" Dean said as he followed Ethan. I simply nodded.

Alize walked in front of me and smiled innocently. When I told her what happened, she gasped in shock.

"What did you call him?" She asked. "An asshole?!" she let go a gasp. "The new girl called the popular guy an asshole" she was probably saying it to herself as she was in deep thought after that.
